Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

I KISS YOU!
Northern Strike is cool but it doesn't get played as much. Facing off against the Rhino is really difficult without a coordinated team. The speeder bikes (whatever their called) kind of blow, in my opinion, but they had some nice maps otherwise. I don't see many servers using it save in random map rotations.

It's like across between Camp Gibraltar and Cerebre so it has the same caveat or requiring a competent team to me enjoyable but hot diggity is it ever fun.
We should try and get a game on night this week.
I never asked for this!
My monitor is native to that but whatever the widescreen 1024x setting it chose for me looks fine.
It's still weird that nearly two years they still haven't included widescreen all that correctly. Battlefield 3 better include proper widescreen resolutions without having to use a command line. Their excuses for Battlefield 2 and 2142 were that it was an "unfair advantage." o_O
This somehow reminds me of the fact that 2142 supports head tracking, but not widescreen. o_O
I'll start playing on Tek.Jansen. again. Once I get this bad boy installed and set up for widescreen.
For that do I just need to make sure I've got -widescreen on the shortcut? Yeah looks like just -widescreen.. How do I patch this thing though?
I never asked for this!
Also, my list of things that Battlefield 3 MUST have:
1. Proper widescreen support.
2. No more fucking fog of war bullshit. I don't care if the game looks like Crysis, but it damn well better have a draw distance similar to that of Crysis.
3. Get rid of this bullshit where the camera is placed in my pelvis when I'm prone. I want to be able to peek over ledges and out of bushes without sticking out like a sore thumb.
4. Modified staminia/jump system. Either make jumping over obstacles less prevalent and thus your jump is lower, or make it so that when you don't have enough stamina you can't jump. Bunny hopping isn't as bad in this as it is in some other games, but eliminating it completely in favor of actually taking a knee or being prepared would be awesome.
I'd also like it if they eliminated the cone of fire system and made it such that you can rest guns on ledges/windowsills/sandbags to increase accuracy. I doubt they'll bother with those two though. Red Orchestra has really spoiled me.
Hopefully we'll find out some details at E3 next week. I'm on my knees begging for a Battlefield 3 announcement to confirm that leaked feature document.
Wait, so what's the "cone of fire system" if not a representation of accuracy?
So let me clarify. I hope they put in gun mounting, but I especially hope they do this if they keep in COF so that being on defense actually lets you have an advantage.
That used to be my number one pet peeve but it's seemed to get better over time as more and more people now spawn at the toll-booth and lay down mines to stop jeep-ers. No, what's a million fucking times worse is as a recon for PAC, sneaking your way into the Gibraltar backfield, carefully avoiding contact, capturing the ruins and announcing "Hey Guys have captured a backfield spawn, spawn at the ruins" for 5 minutes while no fucker from your team can tear themselves away from the meat grinder that is running directly up the first ramp while thinking "This time if I run really fast the 15 guys with guns trained on this area might miss", defending the ruins spawn point until you're down to your last clip of pistol ammo and you've just about managed to pull enough of the oppo team away from the meat grinder so that your team captures the first spawn by shear weight of numbers only to die and now have no chance of sneaking through again because the front line has moved to the toll-booth choke point. Oh and PAC is now losing by about 100 kills.
So now I mostly play Shingle where the more spread out nature of the map allows more sneaking in but also makes it more obvious to my retarded idiot team mates that sneaking could occur.
Cry cry.
Fuck yes.
